One vary stricking incident was worthy of record. I went through Jackson County with Harry Brown in 1834 on a Mission to the Southern states at that time we had to keep secreted so the people would not know that we were in the county as our lives would be sacrafized if they knew that two Mormon Mission- aries were in the County. Now the Mayor of the city of Independance comes & greets us with the warmest reception. How Great the contrast we give God the praise
